Old man Fife is a 8 year old dachshund/JRT mix. This sweet little guy has a lot of love to share❤️🐾.

When he gets tired from playtime, Fife loves attention from his people and loves to snuggle. He will slowly crawl over to you asking for pets and belly rubs.
Fife does have Addison’s disease that’s managed by daily prednisone and a monthly zycortal injection.
Fife is crate trained and potty trained. He gets along well with other dogs. He has not been cats or kid tested at this time. Fife does great on a leash and loves going on walks!

👛Ellie is a 4 year old Redbone coonhound. She weighs 75 pounds and is a very boisterous girl! Ellie is strong when walking on leash when her nose gets the best of her or something excites her. Her idea of greeting you includes running directly at you at full speed and flinging herself into the air as if you are going to re-create the famous lift from Dirty Dancing. She’s not sorry about it either. Once she settles down she gives great hugs and gentle kisses. This one’s eyes will look deep into your soul. LOVES food.
💄Ellie is not cut out for the apartment life - she talks back… a lot. A physical fenced in yard is preferred to keep her safe from her own nose getting her into trouble. Ellie likes other dogs but sometimes Ellie can be too much for the other dog at first. Certain dogs she just decides that she does not like and there’s no convincing her otherwise. She is fine with kids but again; she is rambunctious and 75 pounds. Cats, depending on their behaviors, are not recommended.
👡Ellie is potty trained, working on crate training and rides well in the car. She is very smart and would do well with some obedience training - especially if there is treats involved.
💅🏼Ellie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative and on heartworm prevention. Ellie was treated for Lyme disease and bacteria in her left ear.
If you are interested in adopting Ellie please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.

She is a 12.5 lb, 1 year old chihuahua/rat terrier mix that is equal parts energy and cuddle bug. While she starts off very shy, once she gets to know you, she's all love.
Maybelline is doing really well with her house training and does well in a crate. She does whine when placed in the crate initially and does not go in on her own currently. Maybelline loves other dogs and is very playful but we are not sure how she is with cats or kids at this time. She will need work on leash training.
Maybelline is a chewer, so she needs to have appropriate items that she can chew available. Maybelline came in with siblings, L’Oréal and Aramis, and her mom, Revlon.
Maybelline is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm prevention.
If you are interested in adopting Maybelline, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.

💙Prince is a 2 year old, 68 pound pit bull mix. He appears to maybe have some American Bulldog in him? We pulled him along with Snow White and their 7 Dwarf puppies from the Indianapolis where they were “strays” so age and breeds are both estimated based on looks and health. Snow White and all of the puppies have found their homes except Doc.
💚Prince is a very friendly, easy going guy. He is great with other dogs big and small, doesn’t mind cats and good with kids. He is crate trained and potty trained, walks well on leash and rides well in the car.
💜Prince is a good mix of goofy/playful and couch potato. He would love a home were he can lounge on the couch, play with another dog and cuddle with you in bed - make note: your spot in bed is his spot if you don’t beat him to it! Prince would love to have a doggie companion that he can cuddle and play with!
💛Prince is neutered, microchipped, up to date on all vaccines, heartworm tested negative and on heartworm prevention. Prince is more than ready for his forever home!
If you are interested in adopting Prince please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.

🐙Nemo is a 30 pound, 1.5 year old border collie mix. We were told his mom had some German shepherd in her. Nemo was very shutdown when he first came in but has made great strides over time. He has learned to walk on leash and rides well in a car; just lays in the back seat.
🪼Nemo is great with other dogs and would benefit from having another dog in the home. He definitely follows the lead of other dogs and loves to play chase and tug of war with them as well! He can be vocal when he plays. Nemo does require a physically fenced in yard. He also doesn’t mind cats but younger children may make him nervous.
🐠Nemo is crate trained and mostly potty trained but still having accidents in his crate at times while his foster mom is at work. He is not having any accidents in the house while he is loose while his foster mom is home or at night. He is currently sleeping in bed with his foster mom but is capable of sleeping in his crate too.
🦑Nemo is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested negative and on monthly heartworm prevention.
If you are interested in adopting Nemo please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.

Aramis is currently potty trained to a doggie door. We have not started house or crate training with him yet. Right now, Aramis believes the leash is the perfect toy for tug of war so he will still need work on leash training.
Aramis came in with siblings, Maybelline and L’Oréal, and his mom, Revlon. He is good with other dogs and we see no reason that he wouldn’t be just fine with cats and kids.
Aramis is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm prevention.
If you are interested in adopting Aramis, please visit our website at www.pawsofadamscounty.com and submit an adoption application.

Revlon came in with her 3 puppies: Maybelline, L’Oréal and Aramis. She is good with other dogs and see no reason why she wouldn’t also be good with cats and kids.
Revlon is spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and on heartworm prevention.

🩵Maverick is an 11 month old, 17 pound Mini Australian Shepherd.
He is a double Merle, which means that he is the product of irresponsible breeding. So,he comes with a few quirks: he’s had a deformed back leg amputated, and was born with only one eye. His other eye and hearing may be slightly affected, but he does not let these deficits slow him down! He also has genetic kidney disease which is controlled with a prescription food. He needs to stay on this diet to support his kidneys.
🩵Maverick loves to be with people, including children, and wants to greet cats, but his life is playing with toys and other dogs, no matter what size. This little tripod is fast on three legs. While loves to be right by your side, he will need a physical fence, as he tends to lose sight of his person and take off in the wrong direction.
🩵Maverick is a chameleon and will do just about anything his humans are doing. He loves leash walks and car rides, but is just as content being a couch potato. He is potty trained and does well in his crate.
🩵Maverick is up to date on vaccines, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, and neutered. Please look into his breed, so you know what to expect with this adorable little man! Do not let his issues stop you from considering him! He is an absolute doll who will make a wonderful companion. He loves kids but will need to be with children who are dog savvy and able to be patient with him. He is ready to adopt now!
